[[Endometrial carcinoma]] vs. complex endometrial hyperplasia:
====Endometrial carcinoma versus endometrial hyperplasia====
*Complex endometrial hyperplasia: non-confluent (glands distinct from one another).
Complex endometrial hyperplasia:  
*Endometrial carcinoma - one of the following:<ref name=Ref_GP239>{{Ref GP|239}}</ref>  
*Non-confluent (glands distinct from one another).
*#Cribriform architecture.
 
*#Desmoplastic stromal response.
=====Classic criteria for endometrial carcinoma=====
*#Extensive papillary pattern.
This is pimping material that shows up on exams.
*#Stroma replaced by squamous epithelium.
